Beyond Urban Branding

Lebron & Dwight  McDonalds Ad in India   Teyonnah Parris

I love DJ Delz, he has so much love for shoes....Study guys like him. He represents one of millions of people that really love shoes....enjoy!

I mean, he's a rapper, but he's WAY bigger than rap. He is one of the most stylish dudes in the game. Well done on all levels.

If you won't do that, you should pay him to rep your brand....this is dope....

Latinas in ads have been really exploding. Here are a few...I will post more soon...But Eva Mendez, J-Lo and Sofia Vergara are doing it BIG in the game right now...I don't see this trend stopping any time soon.... Mendes and Pantene J-lo and Fiat Vergara and K-Mart

Intense...For me, most of the best game trailers use slow, deeply emotional music to contrast with the action on the screen...This is a great example.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Video Game, Exclusive Tech Trailer | Video Clip | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com   Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Video Game, Team Ghost Member 4: Kendrick Lamar | Video Clip | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com The music is well done!! The game is hot!! Kendrick Lamar is one of the freshest faces in Hip-Hop right now. Great job!! 

I have no idea how this guy got hired for this ad. I dunno if he was somebody's cousin on the creative team....But he looks like the Nightstalker, or a cop time warped into the future....Maybe a second string porn star. I have no idea who thought he was a good choice for these ads. And for the record, I like Progressive ads as a rule.  He's not really funny, super suave or anything like that....Anybody look at that jacket? The mustache? The hair? C'mon Progressive...wake up...

This Walmart phone ad is great. Kinda flips the script on who is rich these days...Gotta love the little green Android guy to. He's cute. 

This is a great ad. Playing off the cult classic Hangover, this ad really is cool. I was shocked to see it came out about a year ago. I think this could have gotten much greater buzz if it was shared more aggressively.

This is a great ad. It's beautiful to see how they fussed his legendary status with his work ethic. I think it was a bold move to embrace his passion for his people as well. 

This is cute, and I mean that in the realest sense...I like it a lot...

So many people try to steal his style...but you can't...you really can't.

So fun, so well done. It makes me totally forgive that horrific "graffiti" campaign they did in their store...anybody remember that....? Ugly stenciled shirts with almost no real graff? Man, this is a huge leap forward for them. Plus I used to have a crush on the lady leading the class.....mmm-hmmmm...

Seriously, take a minute to soak it up...You can't sell anything to someone you don't know. You can't sell anything to somebody you are afraid of. Remember that.

No joke the first time I saw this was in 1986 by some kids at Westmoor high school in Daly City CA.

This is a cool ad illustrating the difference of movement between old school and new school b-boys. Done well.

I guess it's all just taken for granted that its all "American dance" but...I guess that was before it was "Black" and that was before anybody even acknowledged Hip-Hop was an art. People forget that in the beginning Hip-Hop was considered not art and just a random hiccup from the ghetto that the world wished would go away...TOO BAD!! I love to see Hip-Hop dance in ads.
